Problems described in first parts of Debian's bug report was gone after update, although a problem with "pseudo-leak", explained in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=767295#75 (and few following messages) still exists.

As far I understand second part of bugreport describes problems that leads to some inconvenient and doubtful messages during creating/rebooting domU's when memory balloning is disabled, but aren't very grave in general (although patches are available in Debian repository - as specific for glibc they are not pushed upstream, I suppose).

In general, where balloning is disabled, kernel complains few (about twenty, to be honest) times during creating/restarting domU:

xen:balloon: Cannot add additional memory (-17)

Enabling balloning, for example by dom0_mem=1536M,max:2048M "fixes" problem, although it is may be troublesome in environments with very small memory amount assigned to dom0 (as stated in mentioned thread in Debian's bugzilla).
